Clinton Public Safety Officer Mercer responded to a Cypress Street address at 4:45 Friday afternoon to notify the family of an individual who had been involved in a motor vehicle accident with injuries. The officer spoke with a brother of the injured victim, noting at the time the smell of marijuana. The man reportedly admitted he had been smoking marijuana and freely handed over .29 gram of the substance. Due to the reason for being there and the cooperation of the man using marijuana and the small amount involved, prosecution was not pursued. The marijuana was seized as evidence for destruction.
